Adam Dozier has quietly been one of Savannah's hottest golfers for the past few weeks.

Dozier carded a 4-over-par 75 at Henderson Golf Club on Sunday to win the Black Tee Division at the 10th annual Chatham County Amateur Championship and claim his fourth victory in six weeks.

The 23-year-old won the club championship at the Links at Lost Plantation in Rincon, the Savannah-Hilton Head eGolf Amateur Tour's Tour Championship at Oldfield Planation and a qualifier for the Nature Valley Amateur played at the Tournament Players Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

On Sunday, Dozier employed the patience and poise he has gained from his recent success. After a double bogey on the ninth hole and a bogey on the 11th hole, Dozier trailed first-round leader Michael Tomlinson but settled down to make pars on the next six holes while Tomlinson faltered.

On the par-4 12th hole, Dozier calmly placed his tee shot in the fairway while Tomlinson and Terry Montford both drove their tee shots out of bounds. After holing out for a routine par, Dozier had picked up two strokes and seized contol of the tournament.

Dozier didn't make another bogey until the 18th hole when he played an iron of the tee of the long par-4 to protect his big lead and made meaningless bogey.

"They kind of handed me this one," said Dozier, who said he plans to compete in the eGolf National Tour Championship and on Hilton Head Island and the Savannah City Amateur in October. "We all just had our ups and downs, and I just tried to stick it out. I would say this is one of the biggest wins I have had even though it's a smaller field than usual and I wish more names were in (the tournament).

"But it feels good and I feel like I could have shot a little lower if I was pushed," Dozier added, "but I was playing pretty conservatively rather than grinding to try to make birdies because I didn't want to force something where I didn't need to."

The three-flight field included only 32 players, and only 12 golfers competed Sunday in the Black Tee Division. Construction near the golf course forced the tournament organizers at Henderson Golf Club to reschedule the event from its traditional late August date.

"The weekend we happened to choose turned out to be a really bad weekend due to other golf tournaments and other engagements," said Henderson Golf Club Director of Golf Chris Ulm, who said the tournament has typically attracted between 60 and 70 players. "For whatever reason, people just couldn't get out to play this weekend."

Dick Mathews and Howard Tomlinson were certainly able to play Sunday in the tournament's Senior Division (50 and older). Mathews, 72, shot his age on Saturday and followed that with a 2-under 69 on Sunday to claim a two-stroke victory over Tomlinson, who posted a 1-under 70 in the final round.

In the Blue Tee Division, Josh Courter was the only player to card two rounds in the 70s, allowing him to breeze to a 12-stroke victory.
